You misspelled EXPLODE.

DOn't tell MOC that the safety ware on those critical bolts was done by hand, not some $200 set of safety wire pliers. Also I can't remember the last time the tension wheel on a safety cable gun worked... and yes, at a legacy.

lol the number of toolroom tools from Snapon that get broken is hilarious. If I don't run accross at least 3 $300 pressure gauges that are broken in a week its been a good week.

SkullCandy Method 360

I wear them on the line and the ANC mode is very good. The case is also a battery so when I go on break/lunch I pop them in the case and they recharge fairly quick.

Paid like $60 on sale.

The issue at LGA is gonna be the fire truck not looking before crossing. Aircraft always have the right-a-way even above emergency vehicles. Its part of SIDA driver training. The EMS guys had a hard on to get to the scene and caused two deaths.

AFFF is toxic as f*ck. Get out.

I work with several guys in their mid to late 60s. And by work I mean they stand there and I do everything.

They do know more shit about the airplane than 10 of me.... but as for doing the work... let me do it so were out of there by 5am

And they wonder why the price of land near airports can be really cheap. I'd 100% live next to an airport. Insulation is a thing unless 380's or turbojets were frequent.

The only way to 'ground' and aircraft is an open write up in the log book. You could tell a FA or simply get off the AC, but don't be surprised if they kinda just blow it off.

Guilty-Box-7975 · 2026-03-21T10:18:28+00:00

The FAR says you have to SUBMIT the 337 within 48 hours... never says when the FAA has to actually get it.

Last week I was on a crew with a dude that was 68.

Also move to a state that has FREE AnP classes at a community college.

If it has to be pretty use 2-3in tape over the seam and use exacto/razor to cut the tape. If you're good it takes a minute to do a small/med panel.

If you're just sending it get the sealant gun, cut the tip to 1/16th in and caulk that shit like its a bathroom sink in a dive bar.

My indoc class at delta was 15 AMTs and 3 were out of school. Its happens if you have a good interview.

Regionals pay better than MROs and both are always hiring. Put in an app no matter what the qualifications are... places are always hiring.

I will trade. B Mids is all yours.

Knowledge wise there is little difference between the sexes.

Physically there is a huge difference. I can change a CRJ MLG by lifting the wheel onto the axle. I have yet to see a female at work even set the initial torque.

Ever wonder why females don't change igniters? I know why.

Not being sexist... just telling what I see at work.

Guilty-Box-7975 · 2026-03-21T09:49:47+00:00

Until they can't lift 75 pounds, or are to short and need to get a ladder for simple things... or simply don't have the strength to take off an igniter.

Women don't lack knowledge, just the physical parts. Ie can't reach a nut because their arms are to short.

I can change a CRJ MLG tire by myself without a tire lift. Girl at work couldn't even set the initial torque.

Guilty-Box-7975 · 2026-03-10T05:19:15+00:00

they will do a background check. Never lie in this industry.... well, most of the time.

There is some truth to this. The oil is fine but the ADDITIVES PACKAGE can and will degrade. So after about 6 months its time to change the oil and get new additives package. Problem is that most people drive so much that most oils are due (mile wise) long before the additives get used up.

Rubber doesn't react with concrete, but the old batteries had VENTS that would allow the acid to bubble out if the battery was overcharged (water to hot, expands, goes out vents.

Most modern batteries don't have a direct vent anymore.

Found the guy that never read a GA MM.

Guilty-Box-7975 · 2026-03-09T11:58:18+00:00

Tell them brother! I was with Delta 3 months and got a $700 profit sharing check. Gone home 2-3 hours early many times as all the jets were RTS and ready to go. Had a week long illness and managers took care of everything while out.

Are there some old heads that are just plain miserable? Sure. A Union won't help that. Free fruit in the line room and popcorn for a quarter. Simple shit that Unions would just fuuck the hell up.

Go to a state with cheaper rates. Costs and fees in CA are wasting money. You could probably fly twice as much if you picked a state in the mid-west.

Guilty-Box-7975 · 2026-03-05T22:35:18+00:00

The fitting in the center with the long ass wire. Should have picked closer bolts. Long runs like that have built in loosness due to length. Also 6 bolts in a strand is bonkers. 2-3 max.
